  • an installation according to the invention comprises pumps reversible which are each provided, on the one hand, to allow the flow of said liquids in a tank in the direction of said inlet and, on the other hand, to allow the return of said liquids from said tank inlet, via one of said pipes filling and towards said power stations.
  • said installation is of the type where each tank is provided with a liquid outlet above said inlet, and it is such that said outlet is connected to said filling and return pipe corresponding by a pipe provided with a solenoid valve.
  • each filling and return line is connected to each said power stations by means of two connecting pipes provided of solenoid valves, respectively.
  • the free ends of said pipes connecting to said heating plant and the free ends of said connecting pipes to said refrigeration plant are provided on the side of said corresponding central which is furthest from the other central.
  • said installation is of the type where it has a plurality of aligned tanks, and it is such that the two connecting pipes relating to one of the end tanks are connected to the same liquid supply line at room temperature, via two inlet pipes, respectively.
  • each inlet pipe connects a connecting pipe to said supply pipe, between the corresponding solenoid valve and the free end of said connecting pipe, for supplying said power stations.
  • the ends of said filling and return pipes which are adjacent to said plants respectively provided with solenoid valves, and which are connected to said pipe supply by a common pipe.
  • said connecting pipes relating to the other end tank are connected to an evacuation pipe by via two outgoing pipes, respectively.
